Abstract: The article focuses on the extensiveness of participation in strikes and other forms of militant behavior in the U.S. Militant activities center in the two major teacher organizations: the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers. It can be argued that extensiveness of participation in teacher organizations is a precursor to participation in strike activities sponsored by such organizations. Participation contributes to an organizational solidarity; this solidarity often is a prerequisite for effective militancy. An additional reason for focusing on organizational activism lies in the expanded sample base such an approach affords. Two indicators of students' academic quality were also examined: teachers' estimates of the percent of the class capable of graduating from high school and the proportion of poor readers. Thus, examining only teacher activism in formal teacher organizations may not provide a complete picture of teacher activism. Future research must clarify the link between organizational activism and other forms of activism as well as the link between activism in general and educational outcomes.

Abstract: Focuses on the settlement of the marathon teacher's strike in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Report that the shutdown caused only slight disruption in the rhythms of city life and hardly any of the people responsible for settling the strike were directly affected by it; Report that about 30 percent of Philadelphia's 13,000 teachers live in the suburbs where public schools remained open throughout the strike; View that public education's shrinking constituency of influential whites is a fact of life in most big cities, which may help to explain why the strike talks dragged on so long; View that the strike helped to rescue the debt-ridden school system from insolvency; Report that public schools in places like Philadelphia serve mostly people who are poor and black and when they shut down, nonpublic school people decide its fate.
